New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been underwhelming, to say the least, after receiving his big contract extension. With the team sitting at 2-8 coming out of the bye week, they have decided to bench their starting quarterback and move in a different direction. Through 10 starts this year, Jones has amassed 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions on a 63.3% completion percentage. He also registered a 79.4 passer rating and was sacked 29 times, which is fifth-most in the league. The bad news for the Giants is that Jones isn't set to become a free agent until 2027.
ESPN's senior insider Adam Schefter said on Tuesday that he "would guess Daniel Jones never plays another snap for the New York Giants" after losing to the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 in Munich, Germany. The Giants currently have the worst record in football at 2-8 and would be in line to have the first overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft. Head coach Brian Daboll has stood behind Jones as the starting QB this year, but Schefter notes that Daboll's tone was different after Sunday's loss to Carolina in which Jones missed several open receivers and made questionable decisions. Going into their Week 11 bye, the Giants are evaluating everything and could head into Week 12 with some notable changes. If the G-Men bench Jones, who has a $23 million injury guarantee, to avoid him getting hurt to close things out, Drew Lock would be thrust into the starting role in the Big Apple.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll would not commit to quarterback Daniel Jones as the team's starter heading into their bye in Week 11. Daboll and the coaching staff are "evaluating everything" during the bye week. Despite the Giants scoring 17 points in the final two frames to tie the game and send it into overtime in Week 10 in a loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany, a costly fumble by rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. on New York's possession in OT would lead to an Eddy Pineiro field goal. That would ultimately sink the G-Men, handing them their fifth straight loss as they fell to 2-8 on the year. Jones has completed 63.3% of his pass attempts in 2024, totaling 10 touchdowns while racking up nine turnovers. New York has averaged the eighth-fewest pass yards per game this season. If Jones was benched, Drew Lock would be handed the starting reins.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a challenging day in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, completing 22 of 37 passes for 190 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Jones struggled to find a rhythm in the first half, missing multiple open targets and throwing for just 54 yards, including a costly red-zone interception. Despite his rough outing through the air, Jones salvaged some fantasy value with a rushing touchdown and 26 yards on the ground, finishing with 14.2 fantasy points. He took two sacks and averaged only 5.1 yards per attempt, underscoring his difficulties moving the offense. Jones' inconsistency remains a concern for fantasy managers, as turnovers and missed opportunities continue to limit his upside.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones heads into Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers looking to build on a solid performance in Week 9, where he rushed for his first touchdown of the season and threw for two scores in a 27-22 loss to the Commanders. Jones has tallied 1,880 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions this season, but he's still without a 300-yard game. Facing Carolina's 25th-ranked pass defense, which allows 232.6 passing yards per game and has surrendered 18 touchdown passes on the season, Jones has a favorable matchup for fantasy production. Although Jones ranks 27th in fantasy points per game (16.21), the Panthers' defense has allowed an average of 19.28 points per game to opposing quarterbacks, suggesting a potential opportunity for Jones to deliver a strong fantasy outing in Munich.
